Extract from this report

In August 2012, the government approved the Construction Road Map plan, which specifies that the number of procedures which will be needed to obtain a building permit should be reduced from the current 51 to 15 by 2015 and to 11 by 2018, and the period needed for all of these mandatory process will be reduced from the current 423 days to 130 days by 2015, and to 53 by 2018. This includes more rapid approval of site related documentation.

During 2012-2020 about 120,000 km of road lanes will be built across the country. The total funding that the public authorities are expected to allocate for road infrastructure projects during this time-frame will exceed RUB 8,000bn ($260bn), of which RUB 4,500bn ($150bn) is expected to come from the federal road fund, while the remaining amount should come from regional road funds.

The government is continuing to implement the residential construction support programme, the 2011-2015 Housing Programme, which targets an increase in annual housing construction levels from about 62.3 million m² in 2011 to 90 million m² in 2015.

Market commentary by expert

In the first half of 2012, the industry was boosted mostly by projects funded by the public sector, whereas private entities remained reluctant to commence new initiatives. The government infrastructure programmes aimed at modernising the country’s transport system, energy industry, social infrastructure, and the preparations for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics played an important part in the evolution of the industry over this period. To improve the business climate in the industry, the Russian government plans to approve 21 so-called Road Maps by mid-2013. These will establish specific measures in most industries aimed at accelerating growth, particularly by reducing bureaucracy, prompting foreign direct investments and modernising the existing infrastructure.
